Re: ~Mighy Oak Update~August 10,2009
Marie, you and Ed are working so hard and fighting so bravely! But it surely must take your energy and hope and drag them around a bit. I think sometimes a good ol' cry is the bestest medicine of all. I watch movies and cry and cry sometimes...life is difficult and changing and stressful BUT also filled with adventure, love, challenges, excitement and the most glorious friends. You've got it all right now my girl and it's stretching you from hither and fro. Please accept our gifts of love, prayer, friendship and energy for you right now. You're one terrific rascal, Miss Marie! Love never fails....ma
